May 3, 2012

KAHULUI - Stand up for island youth at the first annual "Paddle Imua" fundraiser on Saturday, May 5.

Open to all, the multi-paddle discipline fun race will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Maliko Gulch and end at the Hawaiian Canoe Club hale in Kahului.

Proceeds will benefit Imua Family Services' Camp Imua, an annual program set for June 8-15 at Camp Maluhia in the West Maui Mountains. For one week, 50 special needs campers and more than 100 volunteers come together for a week of crafts, games, swimming, helicopter rides and general fun while making new friends and catching up with old.
